Ok here goes. I passed on this keg seven times because I was to uncertain about what might be in store. I wish I had taken the keg home on the first pass. This is an exceptional beer as are all the Evolution offerings. Pours a darker reddish color almost like sweet tea. Has a very thick tan head with a very nutty aroma to it. Taste is very complex with many flavors peeking through. Some Toffee, Butterscotch, hints of vanilla on the front and a nice oak aged bourbon taste in the middle with a comples maltyness that can’t really be explained. The alcohol is very high and will show itself if you over indulge. Oh and did I mention I really like this one. I hope you all enjoy another fine offering from Delaware/now Marylands best little brewery.

Courtesy of douglas88 pouring up clear copper to light brown with tan head. The aroma is all coconut, bourbon and a bit of vague spiciness. The taste starts with a mix of soured beer tartness and spicy oak that doesn’t go too well together. It then picks up a modest level of roasted maltiness, sweet coconut and then more smooth bourbon into the finish. The smooth sweetness is then interrupted by more tart and sour beer notes and sort of a rye booze mixing with a red wine tart quality. Interesting and at odds with itself.
